Top 5 Hydrating Foods

Cucumber

The flesh of cucumbers is primarily composed of water but also contains vitamin C and caffeic acid, both of which help soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling-which is why cucumbers are often used to help swollen eyes and sunburn.

Mixed Greens Salad

Most lettuce greens contain 94 percent water, making it a low-energy density food. In other words, you’ll feel fuller on fewer calories and lose weight faster.

Tomato Sauce

 

 

 

It may vary depending on the brand, but most store-bought tomato sauces are about 90 percent water. Plus, one half-cup serving of tomato sauce has only 50 calories and zero grams of fat.

Zucchini

With 95 percent water by weight, Zucchini is one of the most hydrating vegetables you can eat.

A healthy serving has less than 25 calories and is an excellent source of folate, potassium, and vitamins A and C.

Bell Peppers

Colorful bell peppers are 92 percent water, yet they’re still rich sources of some of the best nutrients available, including vitamin C, thiamine, vitamin B6, beta carotene, and folic acid.
